Great location, room, service and breakfast.
Pros:

The hotel is located in a quiet courtyard with greenery, while still being very close to many restaurants and walking distance to the beach. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the breakfast which included eggs, yogurt, bread, tea coffee with more.

Pros:

Very nice boutique hotel in a very quiet area but still very close to the beach and restaurants and bars. We stayed for 5 nights and unfortunately were given a rather small room. The staff is lovely and speaks very good English. Breakfast was good. We had a small misunderstanding with the reception lady who helped us book a trip to Casablanca valley for wine tasting and we would have preferred a bit more transparency on the price. It was still really nice and we had a great time though we had to pay more than told in the end. The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was recommended by the staff and did not disappoint. It was delicious!

Pros:

Increible alojamiento con excelente ubicacion e instalaciones, con una vibra muy agradable y un desayuno exquisito. Sin duda lo mas destacable es la gran atencion de los dueños, quienes desde el primer momento nos han hecho sentirnos en casa, logrando que sea una experiencia inolvidable y que tengamos ganas de volver.

Cons:

Todo es muy bueno, mencionaría que en algunos momentos del dia hacia mucho calor en la pieza y quiza podria mejorar. Aun asi, se dispone de espacios comunes al aire libre muy agradables y frescos.

Buena estadía, cosas por mejorar.
Pros:

Excelente ubicación, toallas, colchón, ropa de cama y almohadas impecables, amabilidad,gentileza y simpatía de anfitriona.

Cons:

Sugerencias a considerar.
No había aire acondicionado en la habitación y tuvimos que dormir con las ventanas abiertas...en días calurosos se hace necesario.
La tina filtraba agua al piso.
El café de grano para el desayuno debería mejorar.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Quiet locationwith great hosts, Nieves, Marcello and Constanza on the front desk. Constanza was very helpful for tips on getting around. We like family run stays and you could feel the difference on arrival when Nieves gave us a big hug as a greeting. They were as sad to see us go as we were to leave.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Lovely hosts and staff. The breakfast was a real buffet, with lots of options, fresh and delicious. Eggs are made to your taste at the moment. The property is charming and away from the noise even in a great location close to restaurants.
